A Fairy Tale Answer

I know, I know,
I have been MIAall week!
One word that describes this week...Midterms. (a.k.a miserable)
But in the midst of this long week of late nights, numerous hours spent studying, and a couple of 6 page papers... I got a message from one of my sweet friends asking me "how I knew it was right to marry Nic" and my week got a little better. You see, I love thinking about Nic let alone talking about him. After reading this I think you would agree that he is way more fun to read about then physics notes.

I read the message once and knew right away how to answer, it was simple really.
But then after I thought about it for a few minutes, I knew that it went much deeper.

The simple answer was that I justKNEW.
I knew I never wanted to spend the rest of my life with anyone else.
It was a feeling.
I didn't have any doubts. I was in love with him.

I believe there is a difference between loving someone and being IN love with someone and although I have loved before, he was the first person I had ever been IN love with.

But honestly, I know my love for him goes much deeper than that.There were things I was looking for in a husband and I found all of those things in him.
No, he is not perfect but neither am I.
The things I loved about him outweighed any flaws he could ever have.

We shared the same beliefs, the same faith, the same love for God.He would pray WITH me, pray FOR me.It was the way he loved my family and how much my family loved him right back.It was how much he made me laugh at silly things.It was the fact that he opened every single door for me and was the most thoughtful man I had ever known.He loved romance just as much as I did.A day never went by when he didn't tell me how beautiful he thought I was.He took me on dates, got to know me, and loved me for ME.

All of these things that I loved about him, made me fall in love with him and know he was the right one for me.

My relationship with Nic was like I was living my very own fairy tale and I spent many days wondering when something would go wrong. I thought, "a relationship can not be this right, this easy, this perfect"... and Nic spent every day over the first few months convincing me otherwise, and when I fell in love with him I knew it was true.

I hear it is the hardest thing in the world to tell someone else how you knew the person you married was the right person. I can see that a little in your description. But it's obvious you know and that if you could figure out how to transplant the feelings so that others could feel them trough your words you would. You're right you found your fairy tale and it makes me smile every time I read about it!
